A whole latta pictures

Im so behind in posts im just going to put in all in one post!!   be prepared for a long one!!!

I cant believe i let this get so behind. I guess when you have 2 girls, a photography business growing and a house to keep up with, not much time for blogging!  Wait, a house to keep up with??. hmm, i dont do much of that!LOL  well, things happen and blogging just get put on the back burner....

Any way!!  i found a way for me to share my photos and not have to upload every single one. just bunched them together =D  gosh! im so smart..LOL  something im playing with in LR3.

Im going to start with this... Remember the contest i had in may? (if not, click here to refresh your memory) Here is one of the winners i got to photograph. Mr. B & his mommy!!    Just too darn cute =D 

Congrats!!!

Next is my first couples session!!  Crazy thing is, Ive known this girl since she was a baby.. I can not believe how grown up she is! where is the time going!  Dont they make the cutest couple?!   =D  Thank you so much for coming out guys! had soo much fun!

Still offering session with the moms group i belong to and here are a few of them =) 

Ms. F & brother L. adorable!

Another private session at the beach with Mr. E! 

And his sisters, Ms.K & Ms. V, tagged along too! Can I just tell you that it was the most beautiful day ever!  I actually had my girls with me during this session and when we were done, it turned into a great playdate..Kids, mom and i had an awesome time =D 

This was my 2nd maternity session. So happy Mommy C let me take photo of her for practice, even though baby N due in a week at that time!

Baby N entered the world a week after his due date! Mommy and baby are doing great! Can not wait to take pictures of this little guy! Well, thats if mommy will let me.. LOL

Now for my 3rd maternity session =)  with Big sister! You would never know that she was extremely shy with me. took me a little to find a way to get her to laugh & smile but i did. The tickle monster saved the day!!

  

Now ive been going to the same parks for sessions and was in need of a change. In search online of other parks to photograph in, i came across this garden. One day I packed up my girls and took a trip out there. Loved it!! I thought i found a place that no one knew about but turns out everyone knows about this place..lol  Still, a very beautiful park and id like to go again w/o my camera which i think will be impossible!

So that brings us up to date. Well, kinda.. up to date on sessions but i have a whole latta other stuff to share!! Hope all is well with every one =)

craft with the girls.....

I must be getting out of my "funk" cause i actually did some crafts today with the girls!  It was a little frustrating at first but eventually got it all figured out. I had 2 sheets of paper with a drawing of a tree taped to the sliding glass door. The girls were to use q-tips to paint budds on the tree for Spring! I got the idea from a blog that i have been following. Called No Time for Flash Cards. Such great ideas and very simple projects.  All started well untill Nadia began to paint on Gia's paper. So i moved Gia's paper over to the wall away from the sliding door! 

Dealt with a lot of screaming and yelling form the two of them. Then Nadia had some issues with getting the q-tip onto her paper, she mostly painted on the floor. So i moved her sheet and taped it to the floor.  Mind you im trying to take pictures of this Fun and exciting moment..lol ok now that we have that figured out the rest went smoothly. As smooth as it could get.

 

  

They moved on to using their fingers. what i was trying to avoid, hence the q-tips!! guess they caught on.lol

 

  

  

  

when they had enough of the painting we moved on to drawing on the sliding doors. I have special markers for windows. They love it!

  

Gia drew me, her & nadia in the snow.. can you see it?

  

another angle...

  

  

 So happy to be getting out of this "funk" Now that spring is coming ill probably be in better moods! Im finding myself searching for more and more crafts for us to do. great sign =D  which means more and more pictures =P  

Photo session with my Girls

A photog friend had a photo session and i loved their background. wondered what she used. Before finding out i tried out this..   a fabric that my mom had left behind when she came to visit.  So what was it that my photog friend used???  turned out it was a duvet cover.. LOL  So now im going around the house trying to find either bed sheets or fabric that have some type of design in it. It really Pops the picture.  

oh and used the cradle for a nice prop. This was a toy when i was young and i find so cool that its now Gia's and nadia's =)

 

  

  

  

  

  

this one is my favorite.. love the look on their faces.

  

  

Brothers

As always had a great time and these boys were adorable! It was so much fun going through these photos.

I put a slide show together and for some reason can not upload to my blog. =(  and i think it came out so cute! Well here are a few photos from the session with these adorable brothers!

How i have missed editing......

I brought Gia to dance class today and made sure i had my camera. Why you ask... hmmm.. maybe to take a picture of the window!!??! noooooooo Altho this photo came out pretty cool =)

Well one of the moms there just had a baby and knowing they would be at class I wanted to take pictures of their beautiful infant =D

She already knows how to work the camera!!

When i started to edit these photos i didnt realize how much i missed the whole processes, its only been 2 months. LOL Getting home and cant wait to upload the photos. Once uploaded the excitement starts and cant wait to see how the photos came out. THEN the editing.. so much fun =D guess i needed my fix.. LOL

My favorite photo!!!

mini Sessions

You know whats been so cool!!! Seeing people use the photos i took for their Christmas cards!! I have to say this is the first year that i have been excited to receive them.
